QUARE BUNGLE RYE

 

Now Jack was a sailor, who roamed on the town,

And she was a damsel, who skipped up and down,

Said the damsel to Jack now as she passed him by,

Would you care for to purchase some

quare bungle rye roddy rye,

Fol the diddle rye roddy rye roddy rye.

 

Thought Jack to himself, Now then what can this be,

But the finest of whiskey from far Germany,

Smuggled up in a basket and sold on the sly,

And the name that it goes by is

quare bungle rye roddy rye,

Fol the diddle rye roddy rye roddy rye.

 

Jack gave her a pound and he thought nothing strange,

Said she, Hold the basket till I get you your change,

Jack looked in the basket and a baby did spy,

Oh, Begorrah, said Jack, this is

quare bungle rye roddy rye,

Fol the diddle rye roddy rye roddy rye.

 

Now to get the child christened was Jack's first intent,

For to get the child christened, to the parson he went,

Says the parson to Jack, What will he go by,

Begorrah, says Jack, Call him

quare bungle rye roddy rye,

Fol the diddle rye roddy rye roddy rye.

 

Said the parson to Jack, That's a mighty queer name,

Says Jack to the parson, It's a queer way he came,

Smuggled up in a basket and sold on the sly,

And the name that he'll go by is

quare bungle rye roddy rye,

Fol the diddle rye roddy rye roddy rye.

 

Now all you young sailors who roam on the town,

Beware of those damsels who skip up and down,

Take a look in their basket as they pass you by,

Or else they may sell you some

quare bungle rye roddy rye,

Fol the diddle rye roddy rye roddy rye.
